3 weeks agoParticipants in City Agency-Funded Adult Literacy, English Classes Dipped After Contracting Overhaul
In the most recent fiscal year that ended in June, 13,429 participants took part in DYCD-funded adult literacy programs, down from 18,191 the year before and short of the agency's previously stated goal of 14,312 participants for the year. But another more than 5,000 people took part in classes paid for by the City Council, which stepped in during last year's budget negotiations to plug a $6 million cut in DYCD funding for adult literacy programs amidst the contract overhaul.
